Description

Hello, I'm using broot as my daily Linux driver and I love it. I'm trying to use it on Windows and I can't seem to find a way to change the drive letter. Anyone has an idea? Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how broot handles drive letters on Windows. Check if there's existing support for changing drives via commands like `:cd` or `:focus`. Look at the source code for path handling on Windows, especially in the `broot` and `laura` crates. Search for related issues or pull requests about drive letter navigation.
